    "Selected contemporary source speaker areas intersecting the map window.",

    "Aggregated by source Glottocode and explicit lexical joins, retaining disjoint polygons.",
    "Simplified at 0.008 degrees with topology preserved within each area; coordinates rounded to four decimals.",
    "Joined North Syrian Dialects (4453) and Central Syrian Dialects (1028) to the selected Syrian Arabic lexical reference, apc.",
    "Joined the atlas Kurdish macrolanguage area kurd1259 (source 3004) to the Northern Kurdish lexical reference kmr; variety distinctions are retained in lexical notes, without inferring internal boundaries.",
    "Added separate Northern Kurdish and Central Kurdish DiACL/TITUS traditional areas (source 98 and 99, reference year 1750), clipped to the poster window, simplified at 0.008 degrees, coordinates rounded to four decimals with validity repair. Original 2007 atlas features remain separate.",
    "Joined existing Turōyō source area turo1239 to tru. No new Aramaic speaker boundaries were drawn; omitted the snow map’s La Palma historical reference fill.",
    "Removed the original Hungarian footprint inside Romania and replaced it with the 2021 mother-tongue-majority selection; retained original Hungarian geometry elsewhere.",
    "Clipped the broad Arabic footprint at Algeria’s country boundary to assign the Algerian vernacular reference, preserving independently mapped Berber areas.",
    "Removed the Dutch/Flemish solid area inside France; retained the French reference background and added a minority reference-point word. No new modern speaker boundary is inferred.",
    "Joined the existing published Khanty (Ostyak) aggregate, normalized under surg1248, to the Khanty lexical reference kca; Kazym word selection and source variety aggregation are explicitly documented.",
    "Joined the existing Mansi, Gilaki, Talysh, Mazanderani/Galeshi, Rif/Beni Iznasen and Nafusi atlas polygons to separately sourced lexical entries.",
    "Clipped the broad Arabic aggregate at the existing Morocco, Libya, Western Sahara and Mauritania masks to assign regional lexical references; retained Berber geometries unchanged."

    "Some source areas combine related varieties. No new territory boundaries have been inferred to split them.",
    "Small enclaves present in the source are retained, subject to source resolution and display simplification.",
    "Country borders, if displayed elsewhere, are context and are not used to construct these language areas.",
    "Occitan, Catalan, Cornish, Crimean Tatar, North Sami and Veps include explicitly marked traditional-area supplements. They must not be interpreted as contemporary majority-speaker distributions.",
    "Mesopotamian Arabic has a selected Iraqi cartographic reference fill and label, without a separately asserted speaker-area polygon.",
    "The Kurdish supplements are historical/traditional language areas with reference year 1750, not contemporary prevalence estimates or newly inferred ethnic boundaries.",

    "The broad source aggregate normalized as Classical Syriac remains unassigned to modern Assyrian Neo-Aramaic.",
